Because I Love You

I brought you flowers for no other reason than Because I love you. I show you off to all of my friends Because I love you. I ended my bad habits Because I love you. I insisted you take my jacket when it was below freezing Because I love you. I wait for you to love me back, You don’t love me. You talk disrespectfully to my mom, You don’t love me. You liked me better when I was captain of the team, You don’t love me. You say you’ll leave me if I don’t get a more profitable job soon, You don’t love me. You would be completely honest with me If you truly loved me. You would love me for who I am If you truly loved me. You wouldn’t call me stupid when I make a simple mistake If you truly loved me. You would respect me and my family If you truly loved me. I deserve better. I deserve to be loved. I deserve to get out of this toxicity. Goodbye.
